My mojo is back and I am up and creating again. It has been a busy month. We spent two weeks purging and getting ready for the All County Yard Sale at the fairgrounds. We did amazing! We found and bought a travel trailer so we are gradually putting in shape and we are selling the tent trailer and that has to be emptied and cleaned. Whew! ... AND I have finished creating May's Cricut Class.

What are you doing in May's Cricut class? I am glad you asked...I am calling it "How to Design Your Own." I love using the Design Studio to make my own templates for projects I teach. Not everyone has the Design Studio, but you can make your own by cutting out different shapes and then taping them together to make a template to use. Using cheap cardstock, the class will make a couple of templates to make unusual cards.

The card at the top of the post is made from scraps of paper left over from the projects we will be doing.

I have always disliked "April Fool's Day". Why? I have no idea. Maybe it is because a lot of April Fool jokes are not very nice. So call me a stick in the mud but I would rather not participate.

Anyway...I have been creating more samples for my Chipboard class I want to share...and that's no joke!

I used the Mini Monogram Cricut cartridge to make this mini-album out of chipboard. It actually is a tag, but I used it for an album. I cut the pages the same as the covers, however, I cut off one end. The "T" is cut from the same cartridge out of chipboard and then I embossed it with white embossing powder. The blue border the letter is setting on was also the tag cut from blue. I cut it down and glued it across the front & another for the back.

Back, but I hope not forgotten...

We have been full-time Rving for almost 3 years. Lo and behold, when we really weren't looking, we found our dream house on the Oregon Coast. I have a craft room again & everything is labelled & placed so I can go anytime & create to my heart's content.
